11 ! Consider the fraction, n/d, where n and d are positive integers. If n<d and
12 ! HCF(n,d) = 1, it is called a reduced proper fraction.
14 ! If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for d <= 8 in ascending order of
17 ! 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, 4/7, 3/5, 5/8,
18 ! 2/3, 5/7, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8
20 ! It can be seen that 2/5 is the fraction immediately to the left of 3/7.
22 ! By listing the set of reduced proper fractions for d <= 1,000,000 in
23 ! ascending order of size, find the numerator of the fraction immediately to the
30 ! Use the properties of a Farey sequence by setting an upper bound of 3/7 and
31 ! then taking the mediant of that fraction and the one to its immediate left
32 ! repeatedly until the denominator is as close to 1000000 as possible without
